About Environment New Jersey

Environment New Jersey is your state environmental group — protecting the places we love, advancing the environmental values we share, and winning real results for our environment.

Who We Are

Environment New Jersey is a citizen-based environmental advocacy project of Environment America. We believe there’s something special about New Jersey — something worth protecting and preserving for future generations. Whether it's relaxing at Cape May, birdwatching at the Great Swamp, or hiking through our northern Highlands, New Jersey's natural wonders enrich our lives in countless ways. Yet the places we love and the environmental values so many of us share are too often threatened by powerful industries, shortsighted politicians and more. Defending our environment requires independent research, tough-minded advocacy and spirited grassroots action.

That’s the idea behind Environment New Jersey. Together with thousands of supporters from all walks of life, we take the kind of action that wins tangible results for our environment.

Environment New Jersey Research & Policy Center

What We Do

Funded by supporters like you, we research the challenges confronting our environment and educate the public about what’s at stake. Through our research reports, news conferences, interviews with reporters, op-ed pieces, letters to the editor and more, we raise awareness of environmental issues and promote sensible solutions. Our canvassers meet people where they are — in public places or door to door — raising awareness, recruiting new supporters and activists, and raising funds to support our work.

When decisions are being made about our environment, our elected officials hear plenty from the oil companies, developers and other powerful interests. We make the case for our environment and help people like you make your voice heard, through petitions, emails, letters, phone calls and more, all delivered to the right people just when it matters most.

Your support is making a real difference. Together, we are ...

Protecting the Jersey Shore. Together, we went toe-to-toe with polluters and fought hard to restore Clean Water Act protections to nearly 2 million miles of streams across the country. And in May, President Obama did just that by closing decade-old loopholes in the Clean Water Act that left the drinking water sources for one in three Americans at risk of pollution.

Reducing global warming pollution. You helped win the single largest step the United States has ever taken to fight climate change! The Clean Power Plan will place the first-ever limits on global warming pollution from dirty power plants. But polluters and climate-deniers have fought the plan every step of the way, and aren’t giving up now. Neither are we — and your support will help ensure congressional leaders don’t kill the Clean Power Plan before it has a chance to work.

Helping America go solar. More of us are going solar, meeting our energy needs in a way that’s clean, local and independent. But dirty energy companies keep putting up new roadblocks. Help advocate for more pro-solar policies, and put us on the road to 100% clean energy.
